A Rose in the Pines

Romantic Getaway at Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins

05.08.2025

A crackling fire, a bottle of wine, a bubbling Jacuzzi tub with a waterfall … now the big question: Marvin Gaye tunes or not? In the morning (ahem) it's breakfast in bed and a leisurely coffee-sipping session on the deck of your cabin in the pines, this time to the soothing sounds of the nearby stream.

Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins in the San Bernardino Mountains is just 15 minutes away from beautiful Lake Arrowhead. With 20 different cabins, there’s something for every taste and budget. Many of the cabins also have fireplaces and Jacuzzi bathtubs, and all have a kitchen and patio area. As for the Marvin Gaye music, Arrowhead Pine Rose has a state-of-the art entertainment system in every cabin, complete with Netflix and Pandora. Forgot something? The on-site store probably has that card you need to quickly buy and fill with X's and O's.

Talk to the super friendly staff for all the beta on where to go and what to explore. One suggestion: nearby Pinnacles Trail—a challenging 4-miler that will make that Jacuzzi feel all the better when you return. Let's Get It On! 

To get to Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins, take CA-18 (Rim of the World Hwy.) and turn north on Bear Springs Rd. Continue 1.2 miles and turn left on CA-189. Continue 0.2 mile to the cabins. Rates start at $109. Open year round. Some units dog-friendly!

    San Francisco's Middle Earth
